I've been cosplaying off and on since 2003, with a short break in my early days. The past few years I've really started focusing back on cosplay (and improving my sewing skills!) and working on more challenging and lesser known cosplays. I belong to a cosplay group called verssen werks, and we cosplay all over the map. They also keep me going when it comes to pushing my skills.

All of my costumes are made by me, sometimes with a little bit of help. I style wigs, make most of my props/accessories (unless they are swords, that bit falls to my boyfriend), and do whatever random stuff needs doing!

I'm just trying to have fun and help set a good example for other cosplayers to follow and to try to do their best at what they're doing. Cosplay can be fun, but difficult. However, the reward at the end is the awesome costume you get to show off!

"Oh wow, thank you! That actually means a lot! :3 My goal was to keep it true to the Spy's design (it's hard to tell but my jacket slopes and has tails) and not go for the super sexy look that tends to be a bit more common. All I can say is that Hancock Fabrics saved me with their clearance fabric."
